Biography
Kiko Loureiro (Rio de Janeiro - June 16, 1972) is a Brazilian heavy metal guitarist, best known as a member of the bands Angra and Megadeth. Alongside his band Angra, he has released eight studio albums, received two gold records, and is considered one of the most important Brazilian musicians of all time. His solo career started in 2004 with the album “No Gravity”. His second album was “Universo Inverso”, recorded in only three days, featuring some of the best jazz musicians in Latin America. Three years later, Kiko releases, "Fullblast", his third solo album, a heavy and progressive piece. In 2008 he also presented his fusion project: Neural Code, in which the band explores rock and jazz, fueled with Brazilian rhythms. “Sounds of Innocence”, his fourth solo album, was released in 2012, combining metal, jazz and Brazilian rhythms. The year 2015 came with big news: Kiko was invited to join Megadeth and recorded the guitars for Megadeth’s fifteenth studio album "Dystopia". It was in early 2017 that he got the greatest recognition in his career. He became the first Brazilian to receive a Grammy Award by playing in a rock band. Megadeth got the award for “Best Metal Performance” with the album “Dystopia.” Open Source released in July 2020 presents news musical ways in Kiko's compositions. After a career of 25 years, Kiko Loureiro shows that he is a tireless and complete musician who is constantly looking to push his limits and discover something new
